I think it should be a minimum of 60 votes.
Senator Mike Lee is taking care of that as he said today on Mark Levin's show.

Cruz carefully selects his words. He knows what he is doing when he says stuff like this.

Cruz argued the current gun laws are not being enforced, and said in 2010 there were over 15,000 felons and fugitives who tried to illegally purchase guns. According to the Texas Republican, of those 15,000, the Obama Justice Department only prosecuted 44.
How many of those 44 were 'frican Americans?

But every one of those felons are DNC constituents.

Cruz/Palin or Palin/Cruz 2016. Either way works for me.

Cruz is right about the vote. And he’s right about the senate.
To: Paladin2
Wait till during the filibuster the discussion of ATF gun running, fast and furious and claims of
Exec. Privilege come up.Cruz is gonna cruxify the admin. And Holder over it.
Gonna make great 30 second spots that will be all over the net in minutes.
To: GeronL
And I agree with GeronL..

You gotta pick your battles, and I think this is the one to pick. Forget gays, Flukes, and crap we just get hammered on, and double-down on the 2nd Amendment.

Bears repeating...
I think a number of red state Democrats who are up for reelection in 2014 are going to lose their seats,
and I think they should,
They need to hammer that line out all morning before the vote.

Republicans take control of the senate? I think he means RINOS might take control of the senate. As long as the rinos stay in it won’t matter much unless they hold about 70 seats.
I’d really be excited if Cruz and Paul slammed McConnell and tried to remove him as leader.
To: Red Steel
After a terrible day of reading about Toomey’s betrayal, hearing of Ted Cruz being very passionate and inspirational about these ideas; is what could lead us to victories. It would be so easy to win vs. just being silent. Protecting the Second Amendment is a winning issue. He is so right about those cases that the Obama Holder Justice Department are sitting on. I suspect DOJ is not prosecuting them since many cases could involve black citizens vs. looking at each individual case and it's merits. The Obama regime is fixated on race, aren't they. I pray Ted Cruz does not change. I really like him and Sarah Palin. His interview was filled with info. I missed it earlier.

Cruz calls critics of gun-control filibuster silly, predicts GOP will win Senate on the issueUnfortunately, I don't think that the spineless RINOGOP could win a dog catcher election, much less the Senate. I'd like to believe that he is right on this one, but I know that he isn't!

My impression is that Cruz is intelligent, whereas Rubio merely has good delivery.
